 rather well-defined yellow or brownish yellow stripes, of which the 

 median pair are narrower but extending from the anterior margin to 

 the posterior margin and at the suture they are outwardly curved and 

 swallen and after that gradually approaching each other towards the 

 hind margin but not touched with one another although very often 

 the intermediate space on the hind third is obscured by a yellowish 

 tomentum, while the anterior two-third of the intermediate space bears a 

 very fine yellow or brownish yellow median line which in a denuded 

 specimen can not almost always seen, the lateral pair of the stripes 

 very broad, from the humeri to the end of the postalar calli running 

 over the praealar calli, but almost quite interrupted at the base of the 

 wings behind which they become narrower, rather inconspicuous, and 

 more brownish, each outer stripe being connected with the median 

 stripe at its posterior end and at the suture by a narrow yellowish 

 line ; pubescence on the disc numerous, short, black but that on the 

 yellowish stripes pale brownish yellow (with a golden shimmer), while 

 on the anterior border there are rather numerous slightly longer 

 conspicuous pale hairs ; humeri rather small though conspicuous, 

 covered with numerous rather long pale brownish yellow pubescence ; 

 praealar calli with a somewhat conspicuous brownish yellow fringe 

 intermixed with some black hairs which become conspicuously dense 

 posteriorily and often extend forwards to near the humeri or sometimes 

 up to the middle of the calli ; postalar calli covered with numerous 

 dense short dark brownish pubescence on the anterior end and bearing 

 a somewhat conspicuous yellow or pale brownish yellow or brownish 

 yellow tuft at the postero-outer margin, the similar but very short tuft 

 at the upper bases of the wings which is very often replaced by 

 blackish brown one. Pleurae almost all covered with a brownish yello\v 

 tomentum but on the anterior part usually with a deep orange yellow 

 dust, clothed with a moderately long brownish or blackish pubescence
